Quiz Live: Real-Time Classroom Competitions Explained

August 12, 2026 · 1 min read

Quiz Live turns a normal quiz into a synchronized, whole-class event: every student answers the same question at the same time, on their own device, while a live leaderboard displays on the projector screen.

How students join

You display a PIN code on screen. Students open the join page on their phone or laptop, enter the code and their name — no account needed — and wait for you to start the first question.

Why synchronization matters

Unlike a self-paced quiz, everyone moves through questions together — the room fills with the same energy at the same moment, and the leaderboard updates live after every question.

Setting it up

Any existing Quiz can be launched in Live mode directly from your dashboard. Set a per-question timer (15-60 seconds works well for most groups) and you're ready to go.

Best use cases

  • End-of-unit review, with real energy in the room
  • Warm-up competitions at the start of class
  • Test-prep simulations under timed conditions

Quiz Live works best as an event, not a daily routine — save it for moments that deserve the extra energy, and it will keep its impact.
